The Sins of a Solar Empire Website
has a preview of the upcoming version 1.03 patch for Ironclad Game's 4X space
strategy game (thanks Gamer's Hell). Changes will include significant AI improvements
and new game setup options, and they say a release is expected within the next
week or two. For users who don't find changes they are hoping for among the nine
items listed, they say they already have compiled a pretty large to-do list for
the version 1.04 patch that will follow.

Are the system requirements pretty low? Meaning, could I play it on a notebook PC? I was able to play Civ 4 with no issues on the same PC. I fly from the North East to the South West somewhat frequently and would love a game that can make 4-5 hours go by quickly.
